Counter the BS on health-care reform: Today is national call-in day
Oh, my god, did you hear how much money we’re going to spend on socialized health care? It’s going to bankrupt the nation! The Democratic Party’s in chaos! Moderate “Blue Dog” Dems in the House are wavering! If Congress doesn’t vote on health-care reform by the August recess, then Barack Obama’s done!
Talking points courtesy of the Republican National Committee.
The working folks in the Missouri AFL-CIO, along with their allies and Democrats, are now providing some talking points of their own — and a phone number to call bullshit on Republican scare tactics. They’ve declared today “National Call-In Day for Health Care.”
They’re urging support for HR 3200, otherwise known as America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. The basic message for senators and congressmen: “Support Americans” right to choose a strong
public option for health care. Make sure that employers who refuse to
offer health care pay into a system that provides health care for their
workers. Don’t support any measure that taxes workers’ health care
benefits.” (If you’ve been thinking maybe you ought to actually read the bill everyone’s fighting about, here’s the whole damn thing.)
